2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

If Germany go through tonight, I guess it's useful to know what "don't mention the war" translates to in French.
As far as I know, the three wars are NEVER mentionned during the football matches beetween Germany and France ; the agression against Battiston is ALWAYS, 32 years after :eek:.
 
:lol: Germany's free kick trick fails again! :D

And does Neuer even know where the goal is?
 
It would be nice if, when teams get free kicks, they just take a shot at goal. Just throwing that one out there.

What Germany tried was actually very smart. Müller fell on purpose, rest of the players didn't take part in the free kick, Müller went straight to the back of the wall. If Kroos got it through the wall, Müller would be wide open one-on-one against the keeper.

Well, Neuer knows how to intercept. It's a risky tactic, but it has served him well today.

I'd say the two goalkeepers are the best of the match. The German defense was caught off-guard more times than I could have imagined before the match.
 
Neuer was lucky with that tactic. He was so far out of the goal several times that even the slightest mistake would have been fatal.
 
@Perun: Yes. Still, he didn't do any mistakes. And if he had stayed on the line in those situations, it is very likely he would have had to face an opponent with control of the ball in a 1 on 1 more than once.
